From the album: Mercian’s pens
My most-recently acquired Parker!
This NOS pen is the latest example of the first version of the Parker Urban that I have bought.
Its ‘Chiselled Ebony’ finish is a lacquer that has been laid over the brass of the pen’s body.
It can appear to be black at first glance, but a closer inspection shows that it is actually a very dark brown, like the wood for which it is named. I hope that the difference between the colour of the lacquer and the black of the grip-section is visible on this photo.
This pen has a ‘M’ nib.
